2027 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code I47.0Re-entry ventricular arrhythmia
ICD-10-CM Codes›I00–I99›I30-I5A›I47

- Risk Adjusts — HCC 238
- Chronic Condition
I47.0 is a billable ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for re-entry ventricular arrhythmia. It is valid on HIPAA claims for fiscal year 2027 (October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027) and groups to MS-DRG 308 through 310, 791, 793. As a secondary diagnosis, it counts as a complication or comorbidity (CC) and moves an inpatient stay to a higher severity level within its MS-DRG family. It does not count, however, when the principal diagnosis is one of 54 closely related codes. Coders also document this condition as bundle branch reentrant ventricular tachycardia. In AHRQ's Clinical Classifications Software (CCSR), this diagnosis falls under Cardiac dysrhythmias.
For Medicare Advantage risk adjustment, I47.0 maps to CMS-HCC Category 238 (Specified Heart Arrhythmias) under the V28 model, adding a risk factor of about 0.299 for a community, non-dual, aged beneficiary in payment year 2027.

Instructional NotesGuidance
Instructions from the official ICD-10-CM Tabular List that apply to I47.0: its own notes plus those printed at I47 and Chapter 9. A note printed at a category, block or chapter applies to every code under it.
Excludes1
Not coded here: the excluded code is never reported together with this one, unless the two conditions are unrelated.
Excludes2
Not included here: the excluded condition is not part of this code, but a patient may have both, so both codes may be reported.
- certain conditions originating in the perinatal period (P04-P96)
- certain infectious and parasitic diseases (A00-B99)
- complications of pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium (O00-O9A)
- congenital malformations, deformations, and chromosomal abnormalities (Q00-Q99)
- endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases (E00-E88)
- injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes (S00-T88)
- neoplasms (C00-D49)
- symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified (R00-R94)
- systemic connective tissue disorders (M30-M36)
- transient cerebral ischemic attacks and related syndromes (G45.-)

Excludes1 1
These codes carry an Excludes1 note naming I47.0: they are not reported together with it, unless the two conditions are unrelated.
Excludes2 1
These codes carry an Excludes2 note naming I47.0: its condition is not part of those codes, and both may be reported when the patient has both.

Arrhythmia
An arrhythmia is a problem with the rate or rhythm of your heartbeat. Your heart beats too quickly, too slowly, or with an irregular pattern. Changes in the electrical signals that control your heartbeat cause arrhythmias.

Questions About I47.0Overview
What is the ICD-10 code for re-entry ventricular arrhythmia?
The ICD-10-CM code for re-entry ventricular arrhythmia is I47.0 (sometimes written as I470). It is billable on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.
Is I47.0 (Paroxysmal tachycardia) a billable code?
Yes. This is a billable ICD-10-CM code, specific enough to report re-entry ventricular arrhythmia on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.
What MS-DRG does I47.0 group to?
When re-entry ventricular arrhythmia is the principal diagnosis on an inpatient stay, it groups to MS-DRG 793, 791, 309, 310, 308, with relative weights from 0.5686 to 4.2192 depending on complications. Higher weights mean higher Medicare reimbursement.
Is I47.0 a CC or MCC?
CMS lists I47.0 as a CC (complication or comorbidity) for FY 2027. Reported as a secondary diagnosis, it moves the inpatient stay to a higher-weighted DRG within its severity family. It does not count when the principal diagnosis is one of the 54 closely related codes in its exclusion list.
Can I47.0 be reported with R00.0?
Not as a rule. The Excludes1 note at I47, which applies to I47.0, lists "tachycardia NOS (R00.0)". An Excludes1 note means the excluded code is never reported together with this one; the only exception is when the two conditions are unrelated to each other (Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
What HCC is I47.0?
I47.0 (re-entry ventricular arrhythmia) maps to CMS-HCC Category 238 (Specified Heart Arrhythmias), commonly written as HCC 238, in the CMS-HCC V28 model used for Medicare Advantage risk adjustment in payment year 2027. It mapped to HCC 96 under the retired V24 model. It also maps in the PACE (CMS-HCC V22), ESRD (V21), and ESRD (V24) models. It does not map to any RxHCC in the Part D prescription drug model.
Does I47.0 risk-adjust for Medicare Advantage payment?
Yes. When documented and reported on a Medicare Advantage encounter, I47.0 adds a risk adjustment factor of about 0.299 to the beneficiary's RAF score for a community, non-dual, aged enrollee (published V28 weights range from 0.245 to 0.407 depending on the payment segment). HCC 238 sits at the top of its hierarchy, so no other condition category supersedes it. See the full factor table on the HCC 238 category page.
